Chapter 669: There is no humanity in war

"That's a fitting thing for me. ”

Peggy Carter raised her hand and pointed at Evenson, "No matter how good this guy's attitude is, in the final analysis, his understanding of war is only based on hearsay, and he has never been on the battlefield at all." ”

"But I'm different, I've been to wars, to the biggest and most tragic war in human history, the Second World War. ”

"Hehe...", the topic was originally very heavy, but Salorath suddenly laughed, "But I think I'm more qualified than you to say this, after all..."

"We've been through more wars than you've ever heard of. Oresses shrugged her shoulders and continued.

"But I can assure you that your understanding of war is definitely not as profound as mine. Peggy Carter rubbed her brow a little annoyed, and despite all the years later, she still didn't like anyone ordering that war to joke.

The Eredar Twins were noncommittal, they had fought enough wars, and the Burning Legion sometimes gave a post-war summary. However, this kind of summary only stops at discussing the strategic gains and losses. As for the deeper understanding of the war, and the personal feeling of the war...

If you play coolly, please press one, if you play particularly coolly, please press two, if you play very cool, please press three, and if you don't play, please hang up. That's probably what it looks like.

And the Ereda Twins also seemed to feel the persistence and sadness in Peggy Carter's heart, and even the two of them, the demons who had nothing to do with themselves, put away their joking demeanor and became serious, maintaining a minimum of respect for that war.

"I've sent a lot of people to war... Later, I also participated in the war myself. Peggy Carter said in a sad tone, "We all know that if we take a gun and go to war, we may not be able to come back, but we still have no hesitation." ”

"Until then, we had the empty idea that we were fighting to defend humanity, to defend freedom, and even to glory. But when we are in the middle of the battlefield, these unrealistic delusions disappear, and there is only one reason for us to fight. ”

"What is it?" asked Claire.

"Survival. Peggy Carter smiled calmly, "For the survival of our families, for the survival of those we care about, for the survival of our fellow citizens, and for ourselves." ”

You may think that this reason is not noble at all, and it is very simple. But—" Peggy Carter smiled bitterly and said in a rather helpless tone, "the nature of war is actually that simple. ”

"Some people who don't know how to pretend to understand may still be saying that war is a continuation of politics, and they are still struggling with what strategic defense and strategic offense. But it seems to me ... Hmph!" Peggy Carter, a veteran of the battlefield, sneered disdainfully, "The essence of war is nothing more than two things, the invaders start wars only because of greed, even if it is a religious war launched in the name of judgment, in the final analysis, it is only a thirst for wealth and land. ”

"And we are not afraid of life and death to rise up and resist, in order not to let the invaders destroy our homeland and kill our relatives and ourselves, all we want is to survive, to continue to live in the way we agree. ”

"War, it's that simple. There's never a place for those empty nouns in it. ”

Peggy Carter's words rang in Claire's heart like a bell, she had participated in battles, experienced many battles, but the term war was still very distant to her, "Is it... Don't... Have you never considered the importance of humanity and glory?"

"Hehe...," Peggy Carter sneered, "War is an organized slaughter of human beings among each other, and the battlefield is a hell stained red with human blood, who would sing the praises of humanity in that place? Who would be glorified by the death of thousands of lives?"

"If that kind of person really exists, then he is a real monster in the truest sense of the word!"

"But... But...", the same overwhelming, the same irrefutable. But after Peggy Carter's appearance, Claire has slowly begun to accept this view, but she still struggles with one point: "The reason why people are human is because of human nature, and once we abandon human nature, we will degenerate into beasts, is it worth it?"

"Of course it's worth it!" Peggy Carter nodded approvingly, "Humans can't defeat monsters, only monsters can defeat monsters, and in order to defeat savage and ferocious enemies, we can only become monsters too, just like in order to defeat the devil, we must go deep into hell." ”

"But then... Aren't we just like the enemy?" Clea asked, looking around at the crowd, "We have defeated the enemy, but we have become the same existence as the enemy, we have defeated the monster, but we have become monsters, so what is the value of what we do? ”

"Why do you think things are set in stone?" Peggy Carter looked very confused about Claire's thoughts, "We won, we survived, even if we became monsters for this, but as long as we survived, we had hope." ”

"Just as we evolved from apes to humans, as long as we survive, even if we have become monsters, we still have a chance to regain our humanity!"

"But once we die, we will be wiped out, and there will be no one left to die, and we will all be buried in the mass grave!" Peggy Carter slowly approached Claire, her eyes made of pure demonic fire shining with a breathtaking light, "At that time, we didn't even have a chance to be monsters!"

"It's... Is it war?" "Now Claire finally has a better understanding of war, although it is not intuitive enough, but she also knows some of the horror of war.

"Yes, this is damn war! It brings nothing but bloodshed, death, sorrow! no humanity and no glory. Peggy Carter said in a vicissitudes of life voice, "There will never be anyone who wants to go to the Second War." ”

Nuclear deterrence has been largely peaceful for more than 60 years since the Second World War. But it was the tragic war that made people understand how terrible war can be.

Although there are many places in the world that are full of gunpowder smoke during this time, how to say that those conflicts are not so much wars as competitions, frictions, all within the control of those behind the scenes.

Now no one dares to provoke, the kind of war about survival and perdition as Peggy Carter said, the kind of real war, no one can control, and everyone has to worry about their own survival and fight for the continuation of their race. No one can guarantee that they will have the last laugh.

Therefore, those who laugh at the stupidity and cowardice of the politicians who control the country and the world while picking their feet, and at the same time shrink into the corners and talk about war, are simply out of their minds.

"But we don't want to start a war, but war will come to us. In order to survive, we had to fight. Evenson finally put his hands on Claire's shoulders, looked at each other affectionately, and said, "Whether it's to win this war or to escape this war, we must first turn into monsters, you... Can you understand me now?" 2kReading.com
